Remembering Mr. Frempong: Mr. Kofi Frempong was the coordinator of our LTI program from 2014-2023. He shaped the lives of countless students throughout these years. His creativity and positive energy made him one of the most beloved teachers our school has ever had. It is said that one is never truly gone as long as they are remembered by someone living; Mr. Frempong’s legacy will live on in the lives of the students he mentored and taught, the family members and friends who loved him all his life, and even those whom he met in passing who experienced a kind word or gesture from him. Mr. Frempong was the rare kind of person whose love stretches far outward not only through his own actions, but also through the hearts and minds of those to whom he was connected, creating a neverending stream of kindness, making the world a better place.
